Siemens Innovation Forum

For over 135 years Siemens have been innovators in the areas of science and technology. They are pioneers in problem solving the challenges associated with water, energy, environment, healthcare, productivity, mobility, safety and security.

Kaleidio was given the challenge to provide a permanent, public foyer display and theatre space that would significantly enliven the foyer of Siemens headquarters in Bayswater, Victoria.

“Our Innovation Forum demonstrates how we continually generate new ideas and better ways of tackling the challenges of a rapidly changing modern world.” Siemens Australia & New Zealand.
The Forum consists of an interactive, eight-screen Colonnade in the foyer and the Arena theatre has interactive and audio-visual facilities. The facility may be used for individual exploration or facilitated group sessions.

The Arena Theatre provides a range of immersive, sensory experience to visitors. Some of these include:
